A Gift For The Golfer Who Has Everything: The Swinkey

When I worked in the golf shop people came in every day looking for gifts. I immediately asked what their budget was and once we had a number in mind, I would begin suggesting items. I estimate 8 out 10 people would say to me "they have everything" or as we went through the list, they would say "they already have that". So what do you get the golfer who has everything?

The "Golfers Tool Box". Why is this the perfect gift for the golfer who has everything? Because The Swinkey actually does everything! Okay, almost everything, it can't hit the ball for you but who knows what they will roll out for the future models. It's incredibly functional soe every golfer will find a way to benefit from it.

The Swinkey is a one-stop tool for anyone looking to improve their golf game. They call it the "Golfers Tool Box" because you can use it for almost every aspect of your game including travel! A few of the uses are:

Camera Mount (my personal favorite)

Fitness/Stretching

A weighted swing trainer (adjustable)

Swing plane training

Putting Training

Driver Protection

The video below does a better job explaining it than I can....

Why I Love The Swinkey

With so many uses for the Swinkey it's difficult to pick just one reason I like it, so I'll give you two. First, I like to use it as weighted swing tool. Prior to each round you can find me on the range or at the first tee swinging two clubs to loosen up before tee off. As I swing and my clubs clang together, I cringe. The Swinkey allows me to loosen up before the round without having to rattle my five and six iron.

The other reason I love the Swinkey is it acts as a camera stand. I'm often on the road writing about golf courses by myself and with no one to take pictures or video, I often miss a couple of great shots. The Swinkey allows me to mount my camera or iPhone (they have a separate cradle for the phone) so I can take video or pictures throughout my round. It's a great tool for me but also for anyone who wants to get video of their own swing.

With only a few days to go, The Swinkey makes the perfect last minute gift for any golfer and at only $99, you don't have to break the bank. It's a unique, useful and durable so your golfer will have it for many seasons to come.
